Like many things in life, there’s no right or wrong way to learn photographic lighting… but I do believe there are easy ways and hard ways to not only understand it, but more importantly get better at it. I think every creative discipline evolves, but photography sees more significant jumps in its evolution due to it being so uniquely tied to technology.

While the Olympus name is maybe going away, it’s not gone yet and it’s been said that they still have another camera and lens to release this year. Now it looks like we know what they both are, how much they’ll cost and when they’re expected to be released.

Coincidence Project is an ongoing project which started five years ago. Denis has been traveling and living in different countries and cities, and in all of them there were coincidences he would capture....

In this article, I discuss some of the different things that I’ve personally decided are bad ideas as an artist. Let’s dive in. 1.Steal Other Photographers Work To some of you, this might seem obvious, however, when you’re starting out you might hear the advice “fake it till’ you make it,” or see another photographer who uses photos that aren’t their own to make money.
